Inaba-san.  Thanks for reply.

I see that EVCS could be used for "other digital objects".
My colleague and I have found that article 33.2 of Commercial Code, also
known as SYOUHOU 33 NO 2 ZYOU in Japanese, permits to electronic signature
on Electromagnetic Records as an action in lieu of the signing or the
affixing of names and seals.
We've found that subarticles 435(2), 435(4) of Companies Act permits to
prepare Financial Statements as Electromagnetic Records, as well as that, on
stock companies, they must be retained for ten years.
But we could not find that Commercial Code and/or Companies Act require
Financial Statements to be signed or affixed names and seals (or an action
in lieu of them).

Inaba-san seems to imply that Financial Statements needs the signing or the
affixing of names and seals, or action in lieu of them.

Could I have authoritative source?
